Slow gameplay. Upgrades seem worthless. Cost of health becomes outragous vs. money picked up. Money becomes impossibly scarce each level you progress. Collision detection/enemy attacks unreliable. 1/5 Terry S
Simple to play, easy to figure out, but later in the game it becomes tedious and luck based. Restarting a stage resets the music and quality settings. Medium setting is laggier than High quality. 1/5. Terry S
finally got 2150.4 trick points. It's all about timing both jump points. Oh and getting the proper rotation. For those having trouble, try going a bit slower on the rotation so your big rocket is pushing you upward a little bit longer than usual. It helps to add to the trick time while you handstand.

Ok figured out the slowdown issue and takeDamage issue. I just had to reset the array for enemies when the nuke goes off and reset the array for miniBosses when the miniboss/boss dies.
Terry S
So it seems that every time my "nuke" goes off, it crunches up the system more and more as time goes on. Is it because the enemies array is not resetting or something?
Also, it appears that when my nuke goes off, I have it doing the takeDamage() and when the second or third boss gets hit, it gets hit harder than the first. (i.e. the second boss gets a double dose of damage and the third boss gets a triple dose of damage).
Anyone have any idea how to correct the slowdown and correct the damage coupling idea?
Thanks,

*Shootorial Correction*: on slide 5 it says to click on the newly copied movie clip and select "Linkage...". In CS4 there is not linkage option, instead you need to click Properties and update the class from there. Terry S
Yayap, try a different shootorial, like 6 or 8 and see if that helps. Oh if you download 8, it should have everything you need for the rest of the tutorial. Terry S
I just started picking up flash again after many years off since I last used it (Flash 3). This tutorial (and the subsequent 7 as well) are hands down the best programming tutorial i've EVER seen. In addition, as of March 5, 2009, I got all the tutorials to work exactly as advertised using CS4 so to those who are having troubles, try FOLLOWING THE DIRECTIONS. 5/5. Favorited. Terry S
